Some of you may have noticed a few sites calling out the negative keywords in the tag cloud we have in this forum. (Gizmodo, Reddit, Huffington Post)

This was a conscious decision made when we launched EggXpert and fully encouraged as stated in this announcement post made back in April of 2007.

Thanks everyone for your time and keep the feedback coming ... good or bad!

So, this will remain, as a funny thing, forever. Reddit]

It's been a looooong time since I've done anything resembling serious web design, so my initial reaction was an iframe-induced panic—what black magic is this, etc—but a quick View Source painted a neat, tidy picture of CSS and Javascript, working together to shatter our basic intuitions about How Things Move, on the internet.

And while it may be a decade late, this is the first truly compelling use for Windows' old Active Desktop feature I've ever seen. This one's for you, inexplicably extant Windows ME users. [Scroll Clock—Thanks, Marco!]

Yes, people, this is the iFixit teardown of a Blendtec Total blender—the one from those Will It Blend? videos that we basically stopped writing about sometime in early 2007. It's nice to see you again, Tom.

The innards on display here are decidedly cruder than the carefully-designed gadget guts typical to these kinds of teardowns, which makes sense: this isn't a pocket-sized piece of painstaking industrial design, this is a commercial grade blender. It transcends gadgetry by powderizing it, or something!

And even though the blender is clearly unplugged and, er, disarmed, the whole thing feels like a higher-stakes affair than usual. Maybe it's the 1500W+ motor, or the 28,000 RPM rotor, or, you know, the blades. [iFixit]

I won't try to be elegiac here, since I only really remember CompuServe's service as that quasi-internetlike thing that my parents would let me use on our Gateway for about two minutes at a stretch, as we watched the minutely charges rack up and I desperately tried to figure out where the hell the games were. But those of you of a different generation vintage, with your own super-numerical email addresses, memories of horrifying, unexpected phone bills and bitterness towards the ungrateful kids of today with their "broadband" and "wireless," feel free to reflect in the comments.

Known Gentleman Randy Sarafan decided to make this office chair to help "accurately document and share [his] life as it happens," which is as admirable a cause as there ever has been to open a Twitter account. The setup is surprisingly complex: A natural gas sensor does the sniffing; an Arduino does the thinking; an Squidbee wireless module does the communicating; Twitter does the sharing. It's a feat, to be sure.

If you, like 131 others (and counting!) feel the need to follow the goings-on around Sarafan's anus, you can follow his tweeted tweets here. Alternatively, you can do the project yourself—it's open source and a build tutorial is on Instructables, thank god. [Instructables via Make]

The piece is about the earliest days of digital media, when the lucky few home computer users could view content from a handful of prominent papers on their "television screens" by dialing into their CompuServe Information Service with their rotary phones.

It's interesting to see how many people involved in the project at the Examiner and elsewhere had a resolutely realistic take on the whole thing, assuming, despite how clunky current technologies were, that digital media was the unavoidable future—a sentiment that has since lost favor in newsrooms, now that it's actually coming to pass.
